============
Cookie, the ARRL labs have some way of doing this, but in their
reviews of tuners they don't explain how they do it. I suppose they
have some scheme for measuring what goes in and what comes out, but
they don't say. However, as I mentioned in a previous post, the MFJ
994 tuner they tested (August 2006) had somewhat lower losses than the
other similar tuners in the review. I could not find any published
data to support the assertion that MFJ tuners have high losses.
